There are 44 million servers in the world each costing organizations several thousand dollars to run every year. The traditional IT requirements of availability and performance have led to surplus capacity and wastage which until now, has gone unseen.
“We think it is correct that managers want to reduce power consumption without turning off servers. 1E is likely to be a serious player in this sector.” Andy Lawrence, Research Director, Eco-efficient IT, The 451 Analyst Group
Empowering the IT decision maker
NightWatchman Server Edition provides continual analysis for physical and virtualized environments and enables the IT decision maker to answer the question, “Are these servers being used for useful and productive work?” This information is the key to making data centers and servers more efficient, reducing redundant infrastructure and avoiding future spend on new hardware.
- Useful Work™ Analysis allows you to identify when your servers are being productive and when they are wasting energy
- Drowsy Server® continuously monitors activity and dynamically minimizes energy consumption when there is no Useful Work being performed without impacting the server availability
For the first time, IT managers can confidently make decisions about improving the efficiency of their servers. They can set policies and rules about when and how these devices are used, or even removed all together.
Displays wasted energy at a glance
